Grapevine, Texas Vacation

We decided last minute to take a little vacation to Grapevine.  We planned it last minute, but it turned into a great trip.  We didn't plan a lot, just wanted to do some fun things and eat some good food. 

We stayed right by the Grapevine Mill Mall.  The first day, we headed to the mall to take Lawson to Legoland.  He had such a good time looking at everything and taking it all in.  The first part of it was a little ride where you go through a tunnel and shoot the bad guys with a gun.  Lawson loved it (so did Jarrett).  We did the movie, which Lawson wasn't too into.  The coolest part for Jarrett and I was looking at all the places in Dallas/Fort Worth that had been recreated with Legos.  It was pretty impressive. 

Lawson played in the Legos and climbed up the big slide by himself and slid down.  The boy has no fear right now!  It was a fun little place, and we will definitely take him back when he is old enough to do everything.

We spent the rest of the day shopping in the Grapevine Mills mall.  Of course I shopped mostly for Lawson and Baby Girl E.  We let Lawson ride on some of the little cars and trucks and he had a ball.  We ended the day at P.F. Changs.  I was amazed at how much Lawson ate!!!  He had carrots, cucumbers, the middle of a lettuce wrap, crab wontons, Orange Chicken, Beef, and rice.  And then at the end he had a fortune cookie and was still grabbing pieces of it off of the table as we were leaving.  I really hope he always loves everything we give him this much...especially the vegetables! 

The next day, we tried to sleep in (not easy for me) and relax.  Once we got ready, we headed to eat breakfast at a place I found on UrbanSpoon.com, Old Timers Cafe.  I had the BEST french toast I have every tasted. 

After that, we headed to downtown Grapevine.  I loved it.  We went in all the shops and boutiques and had a great time.  Jarrett actually likes doing that, which is so nice.  Then we headed to Bass Pro Shops.  Jarrett and Lawson had so much fun playing the tents and sleeping bags.  Lawson loved looking at the animals and he makes the cutest "bear" growl when we ask what the bear says. 

We ended the day at Love and War in Texas eating another good meal. 

I loved spending time with my boys away from home.  Lawson had a great time in the hotel room, just running around like crazy and Jarrett and I got lots of reading and relaxing done.  We were happy to find a place close to home (2 hours) to have some fun.  It was a great 3 night trip!
